In Conversation with Gigi Clozeau

A French jeweller with a lifelong devotion to colour and craft, Gigi Clozeau has built a quiet following around her delicate gold and resin necklaces and bracelets. We spoke with Gigi about inspiration, her favourite piece, and why the South of France will always feel like home.

— You have been living in the US for some time. How does your environment influence your style?

I really love the energy and dynamism of the United States. It’s such a vast country, with very different atmospheres between Los Angeles and New York, for example. This diversity naturally shapes my perspective and influences my style.

Tell us something about your jewellery that you think might be missed when shopping online?

The colors, without a doubt. We offer a very wide palette, with shades that are all distinct and meant to be mixed depending on your mood. Then there are the reflections, which evolve with the light and change in the sun…

What is the favourite piece of jewellery you own ?

Without hesitation, the Miss Gigi bracelet. It’s a very special piece to me, as it reminds me of my father — it was his gift for my birth. It holds immense sentimental value.

— Is there a piece from your collection you often gift?

I love giving a classic Gigi bracelet. It’s an easy, timeless piece to wear, and I always choose the color based on the person. It makes each gift feel unique.

How do your travels influence your collections ? What is your favourite holiday destination ?

Travel is a constant source of inspiration — it’s even the name of one of our collections. Each destination leaves its mark; a small cactus imagined after a trip to New Mexico, the Galaxy color inspired by sunsets in Costa Rica, or Azur, our new summer shade, which evokes the Mediterranean Sea of my childhood.

What’s not to be missed when visiting the South of France ?

For me, the Camargue is a must-see. It’s a beautiful region, between sea and lagoons, with unique landscapes bathed in light — a true escape.
